Course Description


      Join this course and learn how you can travel the world full time, living anywhere your heart desires, all while earning a great income as a digital nomad. 

      Yes, if you read the Four Hour Work Week (4hww), then you'll love this course. 

      Inside you'll discover the mindsets, travel hacks and business strategies that have allowed me to become, and stay, location independent for well over 5 years. 

      And I'm not talking about just moving to a third world country and living on the cheap. 

      For me, location independence means being able to live wherever you want. 

      I chose to start in Costa Rica, then move to New York and from there have lived in Germany, Italy, Barcelona, and Prague. But that's just my choice, for you, well, the whole world is a possibility. 

      When you take this course you're going to learn from a real expert the dos and don'ts. You'll find out the right way to get started so you can begin your travels within 90 days of starting this course. 

      Imagine that... 

      Sitting on a beach, or in a Paris cafe, just a few months from now. 

      If I could do it, so can you. 

      And, as you'll hear in my story within the course, when I started out I was in a pretty bad situation. I was totally broke and had little consistent income. 

      But I took a risk and bought a plane ticket, and now I can happily say, 5 years later, that taking that first step was the best decision of my life. 

  Now it is your turn. Take the first step towards living the life of your dreams with this course.

Instructor Details

Dan Johnston

I'm Dan Johnston. I'm a full-time writer, business trainer, and coach.

“That is seriously your life? You are literally living my dream. That’s insane. How can I do it?”

I’ve grown to expect hearing this every time I tell someone about my fairy-tale of a life. But trust me, it wasn’t always this way.

In 2010 I owned my own business and I worked like a dog with the dream of one day “making it”. I sacrificed friendships, health, family and travel opportunities all because I had to work harder for “just a little while longer.”

I just needed to “make it” and then I could I finally start enjoying life.

That was until my business imploded and left me completely, and I mean completely, broke.

At this point I could have taken a job, but it just didn't feel right. I had spent so much time trying to live my dreams, was now the time to quit?

So I decided to take one more risk, and in 2011 I started as a freelance writer.

The journey wasn't easy, but it sure paid off.

Using the same strategies I teach in my courses, I was able to generate a full time income writing within my first few months.

Then in early 2012 I decided to take another risk and see if I could continue freelance writing while travelling the world.

And it worked. It worked really, really, well.

I haven’t heard much in terms of how to yet, but it sounds promising.

By Anastasia on 3/14/2017

Informative and engaging, personal videos are a bad quality just like Dan says but they provide a fun window into what life of a nomad can be like.

By Beth Hull on 1/5/2017

Pretty disappointed...if you've read even a little bit about location independence/the digital nomad lifestyle then there's nothing new here. This is like the 4 hour work week in video format. What would be waaaay more helpful is some guidance on getting clients/finding work as a digital nomad and specifically in copywriting which is why someone pointed me towards this course. I imagine many people, like myself, will try out this course because they already know they want to try and live this way. More practical guidance needed!!

A good course for inspiring action. I am already very familiar with the content, however the instructor presented the information in a simple common sense manner. This ultimately prevents overthinking and encourages action.

By Julia Webber on 12/31/2016

This is my first Udemy course and so far I'm impressed. Videos are easy to understand and very informative ... just what I was looking for! As a woman in her mid-forties looking at the next chapter of her life and with the nomadic traveler bug pumping through her veins, becoming a digital nomad is the ultimate goal. So, thank you to Dan for assisting me with your knowledge

By Wells Wong on 8/29/2016

Although the quality of the video & audio lectures is not perfect but Dan is walking the talk and breaks down how he's running his business as a digital nomad. Good info for people interested in pursuing this path. Some areas could include more details but generally a good course. Thanks Dan :)

By Blake Hutchinson on 12/8/2015

While I already work from home, I'm not location or money independent (yet!). I've always wanted to travel and live in other countries. I've already traveled some. Looking forward to doing that more! The instructor is knowledgeable and engaging; he has other courses, mostly for writing, copywriting in particular. I've taken one already and will go back to his videos to brush up on my learning. Highly recommended instructor and course!

By Tammy Schaefer on 6/12/2015

This course is exactly what I've come to expect from Dan Johnston's classes. He delivers powerful information in small chunks that allow you to really absorb what he's sharing. Some of these ideas I've heard before, but he has a true gift of getting straight to the point and awakening your own creative problem solving skills. Really enjoying this journey! Well worth the investment.

By Fredrik Lyhagen on 3/5/2015

I found this course to be really valuable on two levels. On an emotional side it was inspiring and encouraging. Taking it made me feel like freedom and location independence are very possible. On a technical side, I think the advice around banking, housing and technology will probably save most people a couple thousand dollars each year at least and perhaps make what seems out of reach, full time travel, more affordable, and therefore possible a lot sooner. One last thing. I really liked that the instructor was really teaching from personal experience, with some of his own research thrown in. This is a lot better than courses that just seem to repeat things from books or "gurus".

By Tano Rojas on 2/14/2015

Before this course I used to believe that living a life of travels was only for people with big economy and/or a lot of free time, but Dan set a real base for make this dream possible. It's not a course about of "How to live on vacations", it's a complete guide in which you learn how to continue gaining your life, your everyday money, while travel and know people around the world.
